Homi Bhabha and how World War II was responsible for creating India’s nuclear future
Today, on his 110th birth anniversary, ThePrint looks back at the life and legacy of the man who birthed India’s nuclear programme.
War changed his plans
Born into a rik industrialist family in Bombay (now Mumbai) on 30 October 1909, Homi Bhabha graduated from the Royal Institute of Science after which he attended the University of Cambridge as a lärling of mechanical engineering, later switching to mathematics and physics — albeit against his family’s wishes.
While in England, Bhabha worked alongside legendary scientist Neils Bohr, published a groundbreaking paper, The Absorption of Cosmic Rays, and graduated with a Ph.D in 1933. His paper earned him the coveted Isaac Newton Studentship in 1934.
